Turns out I never had a thought at all.
I’ve been talking in my sleep, reciting teleprompted anthems - a marionette
strung tight to the executives upstairs.
I almost had myself convinced that I meant everything I said. What a shame.
Oh captain, my captain, you’ve been drinking. What happened?
I’ve been slurring my cadences and blacking out when I stand.
I know all about your son, who never did return from the war.
But there was poison in that bottle, I tell you.
I’m coming out with my hands in the air. This is not my voice. What you are
hearing is not me.
There’s been a horrible mistake. I’m a proud God-fearing registered democrat.
This is all the same elaborate scheme and it will be cleared up when the
governor beckons for me.
He’ll clear my name. It appears that the inmates have overrun the asylum.
There’s a madman at the wheel. We are not even remotely capable of keeping our heads about us.
We’ve abandoned all semblance of presence. Dead bolted, buckled in. Keeping our word to the sinking ship.
Let the rats orchestrate the new mutiny. I’ll meet you overboard.

Just a small town girl, livin in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin anywhere
Just a city boy, born and raised in south detroit
He took the midnight train goin anywhere
A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night
Working hard to get my fill,
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin anything to roll the dice,
Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
(chorus)
Dont stop believin
Hold on to the feelin
Streetlight people
Get Journey - Escape
for that small town girl!

Once again your eyes make it hard to say goodbye
So I’ll just keep driving
Where do you wanna go?
It doesn’t really matter
As long as you are here with me
With me
With me
Whoa, there’s something in the air tonight
Something that makes me feel alive and I say
Whoa, what were the words that you said to me?
That made me feel so special now
Once again your eyes make it hard to ask you why
So I sit here knuckles tight
Hands against the wheel
Your head against the glass
And you mean so much to me
To me
To me
Whoa, there’s something in the air tonight
Something that makes me feel alive and I say
Whoa, what were the words that you said to me?
That made me feel so special
Whoa (stay with me)
Whoa (stay with me)
Whoa (stay)
Whoa (stay)
Stay with me
Cigarettes and open air, hand in hand
I said, stay with me
Cuz every star that I see is brighter than the last
So stay with me
So stay with me
So stay with me

I’ve been hiding in this bed for weeks from this
Throats raw from screaming and I haven’t said a word
The sky is calling, and the stars, they point to this
To a chair we see your breath in the air (breath in the air)
but only for a little while
Your cold pale skin and tainted purple lips
Let me embrace you with this kiss
And together we’ll float like angels
Together… together we will float like angels
Higher than the heavens the clouds part ways
“Promise me to never look down!”, and we’ll stay like this forever
If your stomach feels weak, then my work here is done
To hide from our twisted ways,
I’ve been hiding in this bed
Been hiding in this bed for weeks

What we’re doing is so wrong, and what you’re wearing is so right (it’s so tight).
But I’ve never felt better so I’m going out to get her and I don’t care what set of wheels I steal to get there.
Balance is a minor setback.
What she thinks is all right, and the way she looks is just fine.
She sure as hell ain’t you, but lord knows she’ll have to do.
She don’t know I’m alive but neither do I so there’s nothing left to lose.
If I could only make it make you want to want me. One more drink, I think, should do.
I wish that I could say I love to watch you walk away, but you probably
won’t be back in time to hear it.
So it’s just as well. No one out there gets back in alive.
So I’ll love the way you stand so close to a guy who we both know can’t get near it.
Strike when ready. Burn the highway down.
Let me hear her high heels moan. I’m ready, set, go.
There’s cocaine in the key that took us from the bar to her car to the bedroom.
Only the lonesome love us. Only the careless can handle us. What’s wrong
with us that we’re so unamused?
